Notes


Herman Op den Graeff, was a Mennonite Bishop. He attended a meeting of Mennonites in Dordrecht in 1632. While there they wrote and and signed a document known as the Confessions of Faith.http://www.rocmc.com/mennoniteconfessionoffaith.html This was different from the Synod of Dordrecht. That was held by the Dutch Reformed Church in 1618/19. So while the claims about being a royal bastard are false, and most likely the ones that the story "Lohengrin" a German "fairy tale" of sorts are based on Herman, he did indeed sign a very important religious document. His grandsons that immigrated to Pennsylvania continued in the Mennonite faith until they had a falling out with the church, and at least one of them went over to the Quakers. The person who proposed both of these stories took the symbols in the stained glass windows as a secret message of his heritage. I think they just enjoyed pretty things.
